What are some of your favorite recipes using tomatoes? My neighbor gave me a bag full of home grown tomatoes, so I made tomato basil soup, and gave him a container full. He liked it so much, he left another bag of tomatoes on my porch!!! What am I going to do with all these tomatoes??

MsM, I just kinda wing it as I make it so often this time of year. Basics are seeded chopped tomatoes, diced red or white onion, chopped jalapeno (seeded and deviened) cilantro (optional), lots of grated fresh garlic, cumin, S&P, and fresh lime juice.
Sometimes for dinner I'll add some small cooked shrimp and with a pile of corn chips it makes a meal.
